Bill Nye's Reply to Young Mans Anx-
ious Inquiry-Kindly Invitation.
as. Q. g." McGree's Prairie, Iowa,
asks: do you know Of any place where
young man can get a good living?"
That depends on what you call a good
living, S @. G.. If your stomach would
not revolt at plain fare, such as poor peo-
pie use, come up and stop at our house
awhile We don't live high, but we aim
tc exc out an existence, as it were. Come
and abide with Us, S. Q. G. Here is where
the prince of Wales comes when he gets
weary of being heir apparently to the
throne Here Is where Bert comes when
he has stood long time, first on one leg
and then on the other, waiting for his
mother to evacuate said throne. He bids
dull care begone, and clothing himself I'D
some of my own CANDY finery he threads
a small Limerick hook through the vitals
OF a long wasted worm, AS we HE us to
the bcsky del where the plash Of the
pieasant-voiced brook replies to the turtle
doves moan There. where the pale green
plush of the moss on the big fiat rocks
deadens the football of Wales and me,
where the tip Of the long willow bOugh
monkeys with the gi1dy stream forever,
where neither powers nor principalities,
nor things present or things to come, can
einbitter ~. we sit there, young Regina
ana me, and we live more happy years in
twenty minutes than a man generally
lives all his whole life socked up against
q hard throne with the eagle eye Of
warning constituency on him.
It's a good place TO come, s. q. O.. Quiet
but restful; full of balm for the wounded
spirit and close up to natures great
North American heart. That's the idea.
Perhaps ! do not accurately size you up,
: Q. G.. You may be Il man who does
not pant for the sylvan shade. Very
likely you are seaside resortist and do
not care for pants, but [ simply say TO
you that if you are a worthy young man,
weary with lies battles--beaten back
perhaps, AMI wound, with your neck
knocked crooked Ike o. tOmtit that has
run against a telegraph wire in the night.
come up here into northern Wisconsin,
where the butrernuC CLEANS in the au-
tumn sunshine and the aX-helve has her
home. Come where the sky is dark and
glorious blue and the town magnlt1-
CENT red. Come where the coral cram
berry nestles in the great heart of the
yielding marsh and the sandhin cane
stands idly on the sedgy brim Of the
lonely lake through ali the long, idle day
with his hands in the tail pockets Of his
tan-colored coat, trying TO remember
what he did with his handkerchief.
Come up mere, - u u, anu DC my
amanuensis. l want man to go with
me on little private excursion from the
Dalles Of the St. CrOiX to the Sault Ste.
Marie. ] want him to go with me and
act as my private secre tary and carry
my canoe for me. The salary would be
small the first year, but you would have
good deal of fun. Most any one can
have fun with me. We would go mostly
for relaxation and to build up our sys-
TENS. My system is pretty well built up,
but it would be a pleasure to me to
watch you build yours up.
You would be welcome, S. q. e.; wei
come here ia the fastness of the forest;
welcome where the resinous air of the
spruce and the tamarack would kiss your
wan cheek; welcome to the rocky shores
Of the grand old fresh-water monarch,
the champion heavyweight of all the
great lakes.
Come over, S. Q. g. Be my stenog-
rapher and 1 will show you where a
friend of mine has concealed a water
melon patch in the very heart of his corn
field. Come over and we will show him
how conceaIment, like a worm, may
feed upon his damaged fruit Till then,
5. Q. g., ta-ta.-Biu Nye in Chicago
